So the guy starts bragging that he's the biggest draw in boxing.
He retires and makes a comeback to ace Juan Manuel Marquez...and barely anyone wants to buy the fight...
ughhhhhh
/facepalm
Looks who talking the dumb midget. The fight is over a fuken month away! Idiots like you act like its tonight. That was going to be a sell out for mayweather and marquez! And don't be talking about not being a draw you must not have heard cotto didn't even sell out the garden on saturday! Fightin in new york, on the eve of the parade against a good fighter from the bronx and cant even sell it out. Quit being a fuken hypocrite as always. Margarito showed cotto how to fill 21k fans into the staple center, cotto couldn't live up to that. And mosley's previous fight against mayorga drew 3,000 fans :lol1: why didn't cotto sell out MSG?
Man you are a idiot
the reason why staples sold out was because two top ww were fighting and the tickets were cheap
I almost went and for mid level seats I was going to pay $100. Thats nothing. Even a broke mexican like myself coul afford that.
THe reason Cotto didnt sell out was because the economy is way different then back when he fought Cheato. Plus he fought a reletively unknown in Clottey. We here know who he is but those outside dont know who the fuk Clottey is. 17,000 + for fighting a nobody is not bad at all
Cotto sold that fight alone on his name only
Mayweather has a star in JMM and still cant sell out
that is whats laughable
I'm not blaming you, I'm saying in general. Of course you ain't gonna have the funds being 17.
Oscar will turn up fans where ever he may go, so will Hatton and Pacquiao too.
Mayweather has lived in Las Vegas for a long time. I believe it's like ten years?
So he should have no problem selling out his home city.
You know why he doesn't though? Because Floyd really never made an effort to win the fans over. It's always been just about him & his money.
If Floyd actually did something for his fans once in a while it would be a different story but I can't recall one time where I heard HEY! Mayweather is having a signing downtown or is throwing a fan appreciation day or anything of the sort.
Then again, Mayweather doesn't fight for the fans or to prove who the best is. Mayweather fights for the money and the money only. That's fine, but without the fans don't expect the money to always keep being there.

Being successful doesnt been you have to act like a cock end does it cock end?
True, it is a fighting mans sport, and some of the finest fighting men have also been some of the best people.
I dont buy into the theory that if you are successful you have to act like an arrogant cunt. Manny pacquiao is living proof of that.
i never said u had to act like that, but i think that if u earned all ur success vr whooping ass, u have certainly earned the right to
so does pac and oscar. nothing new. to sell fights, u need two big names.....
Yeah man, but Floyd calls himself "Mr. PPV" or "Mr. HBO" or some shit. Oscar is the real money man.

Floyd's PPV figures were never anything special before he fought Oscar and Hatton. He needs big names to sell fights.

I dont really see any logic there. If one of your fighters is a gentleman outside the ring as well as a beast inside it, it makes you feel better about supporting them and possibly shelling out the cash to go see them and cheer them on.
The fact is that Floyd, for all his talent, doesnt engender that sort of loyalty from his fans, in fact part of the reason his PPV figures have been so high is because the majority of people want to see him get put on his ass.
good old mr.crust..... where ya been cockend?
anyways, the thing about me is, i like floyds attitude. im cocky myself when it comes to competition. thats why i dont own a headset for my ps3..... ppl would hate me online. but the way i see it, if ur cocky and u win, u have the right to be cocky. especially when you work as hard as floyd does in training. being a gentlemen is cool n all, but fuck that shit. this is a fighting mans sport, and all personallities are welcome. and plus, floyd shit talk has givin us one of the best shows about boxing ever... so i can't complain
Mayweather...this is embarrassing
This would've been a big ratings hit if it were a WCB fight, but Floyd ruined it with his desire for a 20 mil purse. HBO told him the only way he's getting anything near that would be via PPV. We all should've known right there that this fight was heading for a crash and burn. It's bad enough it's against a lightweight, but now we have to pay? Floyd Sr. should've checked his facts before blaming HBO a couple of days ago about putting this on PPV. Jr. and only Jr. is the reason this is PPV.

although u have a point, i dont feel like he owes me anything. I like the way floyd goes about winning in the sport i love. i buy fights just because im board sometimes (i need to stop that shit) but im not a crazed little girl screaming at the top of my lungs for one specific fighter . Ill see a floyd fight when i can, probably when im 18. Until then, ppv it is. If ppl dont like floyd because he doesnt give them anything outside of his performances in the ring, than they arent real fans imo
it has nothing to do with me not getting off my ass.... im 17 and i live in florida, u gonna buy my ticket? have you seen the cost of airfare these days? thats the real problem... cotto fans get to see him fight because he comes to them.

RICKY HATTON? Do you know who he is? His fans have been coming to the US since Ricky made the trip accross the pond. Floyd is not a draw, I dont care if Floyd paid for the tickets and offered to fly me out for free all expenses paid, I would not go.
but you hate floyd.... and who else does that besides rickys following? that type of shit is what made hatton a fight option imo.... thats what made hatton special. if i had the money, id go and see floyd fight in the blink of an eye.

usually if the arena isn't selling, it means the ppv isn't gonna sell as well either.
& even though there's a limited amount of seats 300 per person is much better then 50 dollars a household.
anyway, this only proves what kind of fans Floyd has (or should I say stans). They'll talk big about him, act like he can walk on water, but when it comes down to really supporting him, they wont get off their ass and buy a ticket to go watch him fight.
That's not a real fan IMO. That's just riding someone's bandwagon.
A real fan would want to watch his favorite fighter live at least once, knowing he was there for it and part of the atmosphere.

The fight hasn't even been promoted yet, only in the UK...don't see why ppl sayin he aint sellin cuz it aint even promoted yet...hmmm
what are you talking about? i have seen PPV commercials, 24/7 commercials, press clips on spanish television.. BET, ESPN. It's gotten more promotion then Margarito vs Cotto got.
ive never been to a floyd mayweather fight, but ive bought all of them. Its not the way things usually work, but you can still have ballin ass ppv numbers without selling out the arena.

Eh, no son, that is not the way it works. You sell out fast and force people to PPV. If you aint selling cheap tickets which are many still avialable, chances are the PPV will be just as dismal.
